Neolocalization, asymmetric sequence evolution, and gene expression divergence in a pair of VAMP proteins. (A) PAML analysis of VAMP genes. Numbers above the branches indicate the dN/dS ratios. dN analysis is shown in supplementary figure S5, Supplementary Material online. Subcellular localization for the proteins in A. thaliana is highlighted in red. VAMP722 is relocalized from PM/endosome to ER. Species include: At, A. thaliana; Al, Arabidopsis lyrata; Cr, Capsella rubella; Es, Eutrema salsugineum; Br, Brassica rapa; Cp, C. papaya; Gr, G. raimondii; Tc, T. cacao; Pt, P. trichocarpa; Me, M. esculenta; and Vv, V. vinifera. See supplementary figure S5, Supplementary Material online, for locus numbers of each gene. (B) Amino acid alignment showing the position of positively selected sites in the SNARE domain of VAMP723 inferred using the empirical Bayes approach.
